| 02:08:18 | honeypea | hey. im installing the task-complete set after moray kindly helping me get networking going, and ive had a nasty thought - is task-complete really huge? |
| 02:13:07 | linuxchiq | can someone tell me please how to get an onscreen keyboard? I am running .5.2 from a flash card . . |
| 10:27:57 | axp | someone using RAT here ? |
| 11:59:01 | | somebody said ipkg-build was at http://cvs.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/familiar/dist/ipkg/util/ipkg-build |

| 19:58:18 | dmag | Any chance of familiar working on a Sharp Zaurus? |
| 19:59:01 | primal39 | why? |
| 19:59:17 | dmag | Because rewriting everything for QT sucks. |
| 19:59:22 | primal39 | fair enough |
| 19:59:27 | dmag | ;) |
| 19:59:39 | primal39 | the zaurus is ARM, no? |
| 19:59:51 | dmag | Yup |
| 19:59:57 | dmag | I have one |
| 20:00:04 | dmag | but there's very litte good info on it |
| 20:00:19 | dmag | there's only one guy who is making his own distribution |
| 20:00:23 | primal39 | if so, the odds are fairly high you can the kernel loaded |
| 20:01:25 | primal39 | I would think you could get a lot of it to work actually |
| 20:01:42 | primal39 | but I'm no kernel hacker or H.C. developer, so.... |
| 20:01:45 | dmag | ya, the kernel i'm not worried about - sharp has that for d/l |
| 20:01:57 | dmag | I just don't like their QT embedded stuff |
| 20:02:22 | dmag | they claim it's because X is bloated |
| 20:02:48 | dmag | how much ram do you guys recommend on the ipaqs? |
| 20:03:19 | primal39 | RAM isn't an issue with mine |
| 20:03:22 | primal39 | I wish I had more ROM |
| 20:03:34 | primal39 | 32 MB of rom would make installing all the toys a lot easier |
| 20:03:48 | dmag | how much ram do you have? |
| 20:03:50 | primal39 | 32 |
| 20:03:56 | dmag | is it devided into filesystem/normal ram? |
| 20:04:53 | primal39 | the way mine broke down was the ROM is the actual "static" filesystem, /var and /tmp are symlinked to the ramfs and 16MB is actual RAM |
| 20:06:05 | dmag | ya. cool. the zarus distro does lots of strange stuff, untarring stuff into ram, having binaries in dumb places (/home/root/usr/bin) |
| 20:16:07 | Westlin | hey all |
| 21:11:55 | BigBuG | hello everybody! can someone tell me where i can find some docs about familiar? and about supported ipaq extensions? (keyboard, CF network/wifi cards) |
| 22:03:39 | starthir | hi |
| 22:06:10 | starthir | i'm doing a class about sw/hw integration (i can give u the adress if u want (i'm not going to put propaganda here ;P)) |
| 22:06:33 | starthir | and i will have to make a infrared driver for linux 2.4.x |
| 22:06:49 | starthir | but i couldn't find the data sheet |
| 22:06:55 | starthir | anyone could help me? |
| 22:38:19 | nico_ | I get "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests" when connecting to the Ipaq. I have followed the instructions in the ppp howto. I have local in /etc/ppp/options both on the pc and the ipaq, if I don't the LCP error comes right away, now it hangs for a little while before popping up. I also added "asyncmap 0" in the /etc/ppp/options on the Ipaq, still the same. What do I do? |
| 22:42:20 | Kero | check whether flow control (hw & sw) is off on your pc |
| 22:54:05 | nico_ | They are both off |
| 22:55:25 | Kero | take minicom, log in as ppp |
| 22:55:39 | Kero | pppd should start and give funny characters. |
| 22:56:45 | nico_ | ok, I think you found the problem :) |
| 22:56:56 | nico_ | the command path is wrong |
| 22:57:15 | nico_ | sorry about that |
| 23:00:36 | Kero | good! |
| 23:04:00 | nico_ | Kero I had to chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd too, but none the less, thanks! |
| 23:09:26 | Kero | youre welcome |
